Does it degrade the longevity of the OC2.0 stored inside the syringe after transferring it back?

I have seen Chris@ answer this question that as long as the tube stays air-tight when stored, it has an unlimited shelf life.

Thanks for the response Bill! I understand that but I'm more concerned about the liquid that has already been exposed to air. Has it already reacted with the oxygen or whatever content of air it needs to activate the reaction? Will the effect of air exposure be nil once the OC2.0 has been sucked back into the syringe? Or are you trying to say that even after exposing it to air, it won't matter so long as the syringe is air tight.
Thanks!

Thanks!
with no ill effects, I have:
- squirted OC from syringe into a spray bottle
- Used some
- Added OC from spray bottle back to syringe
- Used the OC at a later date

I'm very pleased with all the positive, helpful and informative responses in this thread so far! Opti-Coat 2.0 is a product that will be talked about for years as it sets the standard for coatings of the future. As popularity of Opti-Coat 2.0 continues to grow, more information regarding its application and the benefits of using such a product will continually be searched for, and that's why this thread is here!

Re: Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 - Permanent Paint Protection Made Easy
As for high spots, what do they look like? Could someone explain how these spots happen and how to avoid them. I suppose there is no buffing "off" after a certain amount of time?

A high spot is a thick spot of OC on the paint that becomes a bit dark / hazy compared to the rest of the panel.
It is easily avoided by double checking your work for any spots that have not flashed in various types of light and angles, and also by gently gliding (no pressure) a MF towel over a section after the application.
When working with OC you do have to move fast, and plan your panels - they need to be applied continuously since OC will not bond to itself. Don't be afraid though it is actually really easy when you get the hang of it.

I find in my experience that I have had the best results using OG when I use the CQ suede mf and block system. You use less product and get fewer high spots. That's been my experience anyway. I wish AG sold the blocks separately.

I second this request for Car Pro blocks to be sold separately. They with MF suede are my preferred application method as well.
